Description

La présente invention concerne un train de roues arrière pour véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a rear wheel set for a motor vehicle.

On connaît un tel train arrière du type à traverse déformable ayant pour avantage d'être simple de par sa conception et de par le nombre de pièces le constituant. Such a rear axle of the deformable cross member type is known, having the advantage of being simple by design and by the number of parts constituting it.

Cependant, ce train connu manque de maîtrise en dynamique de l'épure du plan de roue arrière. En effet, un tel train arrière connu forme un système passif, lequel à partir d'une position de référence bien déterminée, restitue des épures de pince et de carrossage différentes suivant que le véhicule est en pompage vertical ou qu'il subit des accélérations latérales en virage, c'est-à-dire un dévers. I1 est très difficile d'agir sur ces épures, de sorte qu'il faut s'en accommoder. However, this known train lacks control over the dynamics of the design of the rear wheel plane. Indeed, such a known rear axle forms a passive system, which from a well-determined reference position, renders different clip and camber drawings depending on whether the vehicle is in vertical pumping or whether it undergoes lateral accelerations cornering, that is to say an overhang. It is very difficult to act on these drawings, so it must be accommodated.

L'invention a pour but dréliminer les inconvénients ci-dessus du train arrière connu en proposant un train arrière selon lequel les épures susmentionnées sont maîtrisées. The object of the invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks of the known rear axle by proposing a rear axle according to which the above-mentioned diagrams are mastered.

A cet effet, le train de roues arrière pour véhicule automobile conforme à l'invention, dans lequel chacune des deux roues arrière est portée par un support solidaire d'une jambe télescopique et dont rextrémité inférieure s'articule sur l'extrémité arrière d'un bras longitudinal relié à l'autre bras longitudinal correspondant à l'autre roue par une traverse déformable en torsion en constituant un ensemble oscillant sur deux articulations reliant à la caisse du véhicule respectivement les deux extrémités avant des deux bras, est caractérisé en ce que chaque support de roue est monté pivotant par rapport à la caisse et comprend une extension formant levier qui s'étend vers l'avant de l'axe des roues arrière et dont l'extrémité est reliée à la traverse déformable par une biellette approximativement transversale au véhicule. To this end, the rear wheel assembly for a motor vehicle according to the invention, in which each of the two rear wheels is carried by a support secured to a telescopic leg and whose lower end is articulated on the rear end of a longitudinal arm connected to the other longitudinal arm corresponding to the other wheel by a torsionally deformable cross member constituting an oscillating assembly on two articulations connecting the two front ends of the two arms to the vehicle body respectively, is characterized in that each wheel support is pivotally mounted relative to the body and includes a lever extension which extends towards the front of the rear wheel axle and the end of which is connected to the deformable cross member by a link approximately transverse to the vehicle.

Avantageusement, les articulations reliant chaque support de roue à un bras longitudinal et chaque levier à une biellette sont des articulations à rotule. Advantageously, the articulations connecting each wheel support to a longitudinal arm and each lever to a link are ball joints.

Les positions respectives de l'articulation de chaque biellette sur la traverse et du levier sur chaque support de roue sont telles qu'en position moyenne de la roue par rapport à la caisse, les biellettes sont sensiblement horizontales et au-dessus du plan transversal passant par les articulations de la biellette à la traverse déformable et du support de roue au bras longitudinal correspondant. The respective positions of the articulation of each link on the crossmember and of the lever on each wheel support are such that in the average position of the wheel relative to the body, the links are substantially horizontal and above the passing transverse plane. by the articulations of the link to the deformable cross member and the wheel support to the corresponding longitudinal arm.

Les jambes télescopiques sont reliées à la caisse du véhicule chacune par une articulation élastique et par un ressort hélicoïdal de suspension du véhicule.  The telescopic legs are connected to the vehicle body each by an elastic articulation and by a helical spring for suspending the vehicle.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue arrière du train arrière conforme à l'invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de ce train arrière suivant la flèche II de la figure 1; et
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 1.
The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly during the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating a mode of the invention and in which:
- Figure 1 is a rear view of the rear axle according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a top view of this rear axle along arrow II of Figure 1; and
- Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 1.

En se reportant aux figures, le train arrière pour véhicule automobile comprend une traverse 1 déformable en torsion montée symétriquement au plan médian longitudinal du véhicule et reliée à ses deux extrémités respectivement à deux bras longitudinaux 2, dont les extrémités avant sont reliées à la caisse 3 du véhicule par deux articulations élastiques A1 et A2 assurant un filtrage longitudinal et vertical lors des déplacements du véhicule et situées sur un axe transversal commun XX' situé en avant de l'axe YY' des roues arrière 4. Referring to the figures, the rear axle for a motor vehicle comprises a cross member 1 torsionally deformable mounted symmetrically to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle and connected at its two ends respectively to two longitudinal arms 2, the front ends of which are connected to the body 3 of the vehicle by two elastic joints A1 and A2 ensuring longitudinal and vertical filtering during the movements of the vehicle and located on a common transverse axis XX 'situated in front of the axis YY' of the rear wheels 4.

Le train arrière comprend également un support S de chaque roue arrière 4 solidaire d'une jambe télescopique 6 et dont l'extrémité inférieure Sa est montée articulée en B1; B2 sur l'extrémité arrière du bras longitudinal correspondant 2. The rear axle also comprises a support S of each rear wheel 4 secured to a telescopic leg 6 and whose lower end Sa is mounted articulated at B1; B2 on the rear end of the corresponding longitudinal arm 2.

La traverse 1 oscille autour de l'axe XX d'une valeur angulaire correspondant au débattement vertical de chacune des roues 4. The cross member 1 oscillates around the axis XX by an angular value corresponding to the vertical clearance of each of the wheels 4.

Cette traverse peut être réalisée de diverses façons, par exemple en tôle emboutie monobloc, ou à partie centrale en tube déformé du type Y, ou en tôle en forme de V renversé ou de H, lié, comme représenté, de chaque côté près de la roue 4 au bras longitudinal 2. This cross-member can be produced in various ways, for example in one-piece pressed sheet metal, or with a central part in deformed tube of type Y, or in sheet metal in the form of an inverted V or an H, linked, as shown, on each side near the wheel 4 to the longitudinal arm 2.

La retenue en roulis ou anti-devers de l'arrière du véhicule est en fonction de la raideur en torsion de la traverse 1 qui guide et maintient en partie inférieure, par chaque articulation B1 ; B2 constituée par exemple par une rotule, chaque ensemble support de roue 5 et jambe télescopique 6 formant élément porteur portant la caisse 3 du véhicule par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort hélicoïdal 7. Chaque roue 4 est guidée et maintenue dans ses débattements verticaux par l'ensemble élément porteur 6 et support de roue S maintenus *une part sur la caisse 3 en haut du passage de roue 4, sensiblement à la verticale de celle-ci, en un point fixe Cl; C2 articulé sur des appuis élastiques pour le filtrage et les débattements angulaires et d'autre part en partie inférieure sur l'extrémité arrière du bras 2 de la traverse 1 par l'articulation à rotule B1 ; B2 située en-dessous de l'axe YY' des roues 4. L'axe passant par les points d'articulation Cl, B1 ou C2, B2 est l'axe de pivotement du support de roue 5, donc de la roue 4 et la longueur du segment de droite défini entre ces deux points d'articulation varie en fonction du déplacement du point B1 ou B2 en direction verticale. The roll or anti-roll restraint of the rear of the vehicle is a function of the torsional stiffness of the cross member 1 which guides and maintains in the lower part, by each articulation B1; B2 constituted for example by a ball joint, each wheel support 5 and telescopic leg 6 forming a carrier element carrying the body 3 of the vehicle by means of a helical spring 7. Each wheel 4 is guided and maintained in its vertical deflections by the assembly of carrying element 6 and wheel support S held * on the one hand on the body 3 at the top of the wheel arch 4, substantially vertically thereof, at a fixed point Cl; C2 articulated on elastic supports for filtering and angular deflections and on the other hand in the lower part on the rear end of the arm 2 of the cross-member 1 by the ball joint B1; B2 located below the axis YY 'of the wheels 4. The axis passing through the articulation points Cl, B1 or C2, B2 is the pivot axis of the wheel support 5, therefore of the wheel 4 and the length of the line segment defined between these two points of articulation varies as a function of the displacement of point B1 or B2 in the vertical direction.

Selon l'invention, chaque support de roue S est monté pivotant par rapport à la caisse 3 du véhicule et comprend à cet effet une extension formant levier 8 qui s'étend vers L'avant de l'axe YY' des roues 4 et dont l'extrémité est reliée par une articulation El ; E2, de préférence à rotule, à une biellette de pince 9 approximativement transversale au véhicule et dont l'extrémité opposée est montée articulée sur la traverse 1 au point D 1; D2 par une articulation élastique de préférence à rotule. According to the invention, each wheel support S is pivotally mounted relative to the body 3 of the vehicle and for this purpose comprises an extension forming a lever 8 which extends towards the front of the axis YY 'of the wheels 4 and of which the end is connected by an articulation El; E2, preferably with ball joint, to a clamp link 9 approximately transverse to the vehicle and the opposite end of which is articulated on the cross-member 1 at point D 1; D2 by an elastic joint, preferably with a ball joint.

Le point de pivotement El , E2 du support de roue 5 a d'une part la trajectoire imposée par ce support de roue lors des déplacements sensiblement verticaux, dans un plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la caisse 3, du point d'articulation inférieur B1 , B2 et d'autre part cette trajectoire du point El ; E2 est guidée en rotation angulaire autour de l'axe de pivotement C1, B1 ; C2, B2, du support de roue S par la biellette 9. The pivot point El, E2 of the wheel support 5 has on the one hand the trajectory imposed by this wheel support during the substantially vertical displacements, in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body 3, of the articulation point lower B1, B2 and on the other hand this trajectory of the point El; E2 is guided in angular rotation around the pivot axis C1, B1; C2, B2, of the wheel support S by the link 9.

La longueur de la biellette 9 et la position relative dans l'espace de son point d'articulation Dl; D2 qui suit les mouvements de la traverse 1 et celle du point El ; E2 du support de roue 5, doivent être choisis de telle sorte que lorsqu'on conjugue les déplacements relatifs de la traverse 1 et du support de roue S, on obtienne l'épure de pince souhaitée correspondant au type du véhicule. De la sorte, on peut obtenir de la pince progressivement sur la roue que l'on charge, ce qui est sécurisant lorsque le véhicule subit des accélérations latérales en virage. The length of the link 9 and the relative position in space of its point of articulation Dl; D2 which follows the movements of cross-member 1 and that of point El; E2 of the wheel support 5, must be chosen so that when the relative displacements of the cross member 1 and the wheel support S are combined, the desired clamp diagram corresponding to the type of vehicle is obtained. In this way, the clamp can be obtained progressively on the wheel which is loaded, which is reassuring when the vehicle undergoes lateral accelerations when cornering.

Les positions respectives de l'articulation Dl; D2 de chaque biellette 9 sur la traverse 1 et de l'articulation El ; E2 du levier 8 sur le support de roue associé S sont telles qu'en position moyenne de la roue 4 par rapport à la caisse 3, les biellettes 9 sont sensiblement horizontales au-dessus du plan transversal passant par les articulations B1, D1 et B2, D2 de la biellette 9 à la traverse déformable 1 et du support de roue S au bras longitudinal correspondant 2. The respective positions of the Dl joint; D2 of each link 9 on the cross member 1 and of the articulation El; E2 of the lever 8 on the associated wheel support S are such that in the average position of the wheel 4 relative to the body 3, the links 9 are substantially horizontal above the transverse plane passing through the joints B1, D1 and B2 , D2 from the link 9 to the deformable cross member 1 and from the wheel support S to the corresponding longitudinal arm 2.

Comme représenté en particulier en figure 3, quand la roue 4 s'enfonce ou monte dans la caisse 3, notamment lorsque cette roue est la roue extérieure du véhicule se déplaçant dans un virage, le point Bl se déplace du point Bla au point Blb, la rotule El, qui est solidaire du support de roue S, s'élève par rapport à la traverse 1 et par rapport au point d'articulation D1. Le soulèvement de la rotule El à un niveau supérieur au plan transversal au véhicule passant par les points d'articulation B1 et D1 et donc le soulèvement de la biellette 9, entraîne, en considérant le triangle formé par les points Bl, El, D1 de la figure 2, un pivotement du support de roue S dans le sens qui accroît le pincement de la roue 4. As shown in particular in FIG. 3, when the wheel 4 plunges or rises in the body 3, in particular when this wheel is the exterior wheel of the vehicle moving in a bend, the point Bl moves from point Bla to point Blb, the ball El, which is integral with the wheel support S, rises relative to the cross member 1 and relative to the point of articulation D1. The lifting of the ball joint El to a level higher than the plane transverse to the vehicle passing through the points of articulation B1 and D1 and therefore the lifting of the link 9, involves, considering the triangle formed by the points Bl, El, D1 of FIG. 2, a pivoting of the wheel support S in the direction which increases the pinching of the wheel 4.

Par le train arrière conforme à l'invention, les épures de ce train sont maîtrisées et, suivant le type de véhicule, on peut adapter les valeurs de pincement et de carrossage des roues arrière qui lui sont les plus appropriées. By the rear axle according to the invention, the drawings of this train are controlled and, depending on the type of vehicle, it is possible to adapt the values of toe-in and camber of the rear wheels which are most suitable for it.

L'ensemble du train arrière reste simple au niveau conception avec possibilité de réglage de pince au montage, par exemple par réglage de la longueur de la biellette 9 ou de la position du point d'articulation Dl; D2 sur la traverse déformable 1, ce qui élimine certaines contraintes des gammes de soudure et d'assemblage. The whole rear axle remains simple in terms of design with the possibility of adjusting the clamp during assembly, for example by adjusting the length of the link 9 or the position of the articulation point Dl; D2 on the deformable cross member 1, which eliminates certain constraints from the welding and assembly ranges.
